Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

T-A Hotitude!

So after today's really exciting stage at Paris-Nice a fun thread is so needed to keep us all going right into Tirreno-Adriatico tomorrow. We all know that we like some fun threads and this one should help us all get into the swing of following two good races pretty much at the same time! Just some teasers to help get this going...

Yep. :-)

He had the lead for a bit and was chatting away up on stage at the finish while others came up. Very enjoyable. :-)

What's that thing on the left?

It’s in the way of the picture. Can it please move along?

You mean the pink thing on Cav's left?

It’ll be fading into the distance soon enough.

Take notice Lance-Arnold

that’s the kind of emaciated, sickly torso we are looking for in a cyclist. The look of aTour-winner.

Did your favourite rider just win Montepaschi Strade Bianch Eroica Toscana? OK then.

Take a look at his left shoulder (our right).

 Looks like a patch. Quitting smoking?

And sweet it is ;-) I thought it might become gloating if I posted a bunch of him suddenly.

I might have to add a pic (or two) when I get home tonight. :-)

I like the new kits too.

Although with black shorts, the black and white version from last year was great.

Basso and Di Luca are pretty good friends

So I’m guessing that conversation was more congenial than it looks in the photo :-)

by Tifosa on Mar 12, 2009 5:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

lol, yeah

That photo looked like it caught just the wrong moment. Looks like it’s just before or after the moment when they slapped backs and grinned at one another like idiots.

A rare mis-shot from Mr. Vos. C’mon Cor, we want to see the Smiling Assasin ;-)
